That is an easy way to get injured.

Depends how athletic you are, diet, and sleep/recovery time you get.

In pre-deployment training we run/ruck 30 miles some days and I’d still lift in the mornings/night with shit for sleep but a fuck ton of food. Wouldn’t recommend but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.

I think you’ll be fine if you’re pretty fit bud.

You can if you're eating and sleeping enough. You'll know if you aren't.

You're probably a younger dude I'm assuming, you'll be fine. Rest at least 4 hours in between, eat a good high protein and moderate carb meal, replenish your electrolyte, go lift and get a good night's rest. Also stretch.

Never tried it but how’d you even have strength or energy after exhausting cardio?

I normally lift before any sort of cardio

I do whatever I find more important first.

So if you consider football more important than lifting, do that. But if you want to prioritize lifting (gaining muscle) over football, then lift first.

Last week I played soccer for 4 hours and then do some squats/deadlifts in the gym. It's about how much you want it and how badly you want to feel the next day haha

Might depend what the sport is but I think it's common to have an off season where you do more heavy lifting but during the season you just want to lift enough to maintain what you already have.

I always do lifting before cardio (basketball/sleds usually)

Lifting is an unspecific term. What is your goal?

Getting stressed out? Go on!
Getting into overtraining? Do that for two weeks.
Getting really strong? Will not work.
Getting a cute bodybuilder-physique? Doesn't matter.
